“…Satellites manage metadata, allocate data to servers, and conduct regular audits to ensure continuous data storage. In the event of servers failing to store data, replication occurs to maintain redundancy & Jerbi et al, 2020. BlockStore (Ruj et al, 2018) a pioneer in outlining the file storage process, employs Space Wallets-a specialized structure tracking storage space across nodes.…”

Consensus mechanisms are fundamental to blockchain technology, ensuring network integrity and the orderly progression of transactions. However, the predominant proof of work method, while widely adopted, has raised concerns regarding its energy-intensive nature and lack of scalability. In response, this research explores alternative consensus methods tailored to participants' engagement in blockchain storage activities. We conducted a comprehensive review of existing approaches, examining their reusability and efficacy. Concurrently, we observed a growing demand for distributed storage solutions driven by escalating data volumes. Our investigation identified areas for improvement in existing storage blockchains, motivating the development of our own system, BlockStock. This protocol, meticulously designed, aims to enhance intelligent data storage management reliably and robustly. Through rigorous performance evaluations, including assessments of power consumption, throughput, and data transfer times, BlockStock demonstrates superior efficacy and cost-effectiveness. These findings underscore its significance as a notable advancement in blockchain-based storage solutions, offering a promising avenue for future research and application.

“…Furthermore, the system incorporates regular and automated audits performed by the entire network, facilitated by recoverability proofs (Pourmajidi et al, 2023). This dual approach not only optimizes storage efficiency but also enhances security and accountability within the blockchain ecosystem (Jerbi et al, 2020).…”

“…However, the energy will be equal between the different nodes of the zone to oversee, which allows an extension of the life of the network. [19] uses the paralleling technique which makes it possible to accelerate the computation of scalar multiplications. This technique helps to make the work of the CH lightweight.…”

The emergence of IoT applications has risen the security issues of the big data sent by the IoT devices. The design of lightweight cryptographic algorithms becomes a necessity. Moreover, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a promising cryptographic technology that has been used in IoT. However, connected objects are resource-constrained devices, with limited computing power and energy power. Driven by these motivations, we propose and develop a secure cryptographic protocol called CoopECC which leverages the organization of IoT nodes into cluster to distribute the load of cluster head (CH) among its cluster members. This technique proves that it optimizes the resource consumption of the IoT nodes including computation and energy consumption. Performance evaluation, done with TOSSIM simulator, shows that the proposed protocol CoopECC outperforms the original ECC algorithm, in terms of computation time, consumed energy, and the network’s lifespan.

Blockchain is a database that contains the history of all exchanges made between its users since its creation. Blockchain is a new tool that enables essential distributed applications without the need for centralized trust. It is a transparent and secure technology for storing and transmitting information that operates without a central control body. Moreover, the large-scale presence of wireless sensors, especially in the IoT, produce a large volume of data. This data must be protected to guarantee its correctness.However, due to the difficulty of encrypting this data, there are many problems, including limited resources, whether in terms of computation, memory, or energy, as well as the complexity of encryption algorithms. Therefore, we wanted, through this article, to show the importance of adopting the blockchain in wireless sensors. This enables it to send data as quickly and securely as possible, as little of the literature has dealt with this topic. For this, one imaginable solution must be managed in WSN which is to put the necessary keys for networks or groups at the level of each sensor for the different scenarios implemented, mobile node and orphan nodes, so that the latter can authenticate and link to these multiple networks or clusters, using our blockchain security IoT (BSI) protocol. The latter makes it possible to design a decentralized, transparent, and scalable authentication system, which does not negatively impact the performance of sensors or that of networks. This system must provide complete freedom to change the state of the sensor from one network to another, while ensuring the safety of the latter. This means that if a sensor is authenticated in a legitimate network, it becomes reliable and accepted by all other networks. This allows you to have a global vision on all networks. We evaluate the performance of our protocol with simulations using MATLAB.The results confirm that the BSI protocol is robust and efficient, provides lower power consumption and fast computing time.
